My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bowser is originally from a local animal shelter and we were asked to take him because of his frantic behavior when leashed, crated, etc. He can be a friendly dog but he needs a low stress home, no children and patient, gentle handling. Bowser is distrusting of new people and is suspicious if intentions are unclear. His leash skills are improving daily and he takes guidance well but he needs someone experienced enough not to put too many expectations on him too soon. He is capable of overreacting when frightened and he does have a prior bite history when he was pushed while out on a walk. Bowser likes most dogs but he would do best with one other large dog, preferably female and playful. Bowser is about 3 years old (as of 2020), and he's average size for a male.

Additional adoption info

We ask that you bring the whole family (including the four legged) so we can best match you with the right dog. Once you have found your new companion we will have you fill out a one page adoption agreement. All dogs go home spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, with a collar, and ID tag.
Our donations for dogs may vary depending on gender, age, breed and medical needs. Generally our male Dobermans are $250-300 with possible flexibility for seniors. Our female Dobermans are generally a $350 donation, due to the fact that it is more difficult for us to get spay appointments and therefore, we are paying more for those surgeries at other vet clinics. We have to ask more just to make ends meet for now. Little dogs and non-Dobermans are still generally a $200 donation.

Go meet their pets

We are located on a small ranch nestled in the orchards of Fillmore, ca. We are open every saturday from 11:00am-3:00pm for open house adoptions as long as you have an approved application. We have to keep visitors to a minimum due to the pandemic. We can arrange weekday or sunday visits by appointment as well.

More about this rescue

We are a non-profit, no-kill rescue/sanctuary specializing in dobermans but also rescuing small dogs. Most of our dogs come from animal shelters before they are euthanized and are given a second chance at a new home.
